“Dartmouth’s capacity to advance its dual mission of education and research dependsupon the full diversity and inclusivity of this community. We must increase diversity,particularly among our faculty and staff. As we do so, we must also create a communityin which every individual, regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, disability, nationality, political or religious views, orposition within the institution, is respected. On this close-knit and intimate campus, wemust ensure that every person knows that he, she, or they is a valued member of ourcommunity.

Diversity and inclusivity are necessary partners. Without inclusivity, the benefits ofdiversity—an increase in understanding, improvement in performance, enhanced innovation, and heightened levels of satisfaction—will not be realized.” - PresidentPhilip Hanlon ’77 - Excerpt from May 2016 Letter to the Dartmouth community
